but that's already the law. and that doesn't help the millions of people out there with pre-existing conditions. there is a reason why governor romney set up the plan that he did in massachusetts. it wasn't a government takeover of health care, it was the largest expansion of private insurance, but what it does say is that insurers, you have to take everybody. now, that also means you've got more customers. but when governor romney says he'll replace it with something, but can't detail how it will be, in fact, replaced, and the reason he set up the system he did in massachusetts because there isn't a better way of dealing with the preexisting conditions problem, it reminds me, he says he will close deductions and loopholes for his tax plan. that's how it will be paid for, but we don't know the details. he says that he's going to replace dodd-frank, wall street reform, but we don't know exactly which ones, he won't tell us. he now says he'll replace obama care and assure that all the good things in it will be in

laws were passed is they did not understand the implications on the state level. so many people were outraged with the trayvon martin killing, but the district attorney decided not to press charges was elected. most of the issues that affect people every day our local issues, but i believe that national organizations put so much emphasis on the top of the ticket they are ignoring vital state, gubernatorial, state, county commissioner, all those down-ballot races, and when you are talking about the military- industrial complex, those are district attorney's charging people, judge-citizens charging people, so speak to how you are educating your constituents to understand down-ballot races matter, and even more so, then the top of the ticket? >> it is also different states. if you complained about extremism in the republican party or the support by minorities of the democratic party, you self-gerrymander the country, counties, and districts. what is transpiring is you can make sure you -- but you are giving up on south carolina. that will not change blew any time soo

he also would end the provision of the health reform law, the affordable care act, tt fled inhe donut hole. so many middle-income seniors would have a higher drug price. one of the striking proposals is he would raise the age at which you could start to get medicare from 65 to 67 but at the same time he would repeal the provisions of the health reform law that set up these new health insurance exchanges for people to go into. so 65 and 66-year-olds would largely be left to try to buy insurance in the current type of health insurance market where people at that age ofn can't buy a policy. >> ifill: what he just described is an accurate description of what's in the plan. then you take it, is it a good thing or a bad thing? is it a necessary place for america to be going right now. >> it's definitely necessary. even bob would agree that the fiscal path we're on now is simply unsustainable. medicare is a particularly good example. it's going bankrupt. everyone is fully aware of that. it has a severe demographic problem. some time in the next 20 years or so we'll have 80 million retirees w

but under current law, the top tax rate goes from 35 to 39. so maybe under tax reform, you end up getting it to 36. maybe depending on how you do it, 35. but talking about getting it down to 25%, not only do you in burden on middle income americans, but you're not going to have any of that money available to go for the purpose of deficit. reduction. and everybody bipartisan group that has looked at this has taken a sizeable portion of that revenue from tax reform for the purpose of deficit reduction to get a balanced plan. >> all right. the 4.6 is correct. it's 5.4 for the bush tax cuts. all together, the house budget would require $10 billion, and you would only get 1.1 out of loopholes. but he did raise an interesting point. we should be talking about who, not what, we're affecting when we are elimiti expenditures. so let's look at it this way. the five biggest individual tax expenditures are the exclusion of employer health insurance, as you mentioned, the exclusion of employer pensions. then the mortgage interest deduction. then the medica

but the guy on stage last night, he said that he doesn't even know that there are such laws that encourage outsourcing. never heard of them. never heard of them. never heard of tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. he said, if it's true, he must need a new accountant. now we know for sure it was not the real mitt romney because he seem to be doing just fine with his current accountant. so you see, the man on stage last night he does not want to be held accountable for the real mitt romney's decisions and what he's been saying for the last year. and that's because he knows full well that we don't want what he's been selling for the last year. so governor romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be president, you owe the american people the truth. so here's the truth. governor romney cannot pay for his $5 trillion tax plan without blowing up the deficit or sticking to the middle class. that's the math. we can't afford to go down that road again. we can't afford another round of budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthy. we can't afford to gut our investments in edu

this was so obvious to everyone that when we reform welfare in the 1990's, a law was passed by a republican congress and signed by a democratic president. what happened? welfare enrollment dropped dramatically. millions of people gained new lives of independence. poverty rates for children fell over 20% in four years. more single moms found jobs. your welfare checks going out and more money for states to spend on child care so more moms could go to work and support themselves. welfare reform worked because it encouraged the best in people. it appealed to their desire to shape their own destiny. it helped get government out of the business of fostering dependency. here is the problem. we have not applied a waltham -- a welfare reform mindset with equal vigor across programs. in most cases, we are still trying to measure compassion by how much spend cannot how many we help. last year, spending on programs came over $1 trillion. what does that mean in practical terms? for that amount of money, you could give every single poor american a check for $22,000. instead, we just spent all of that mon
